Key Features of Photo Printers
High Print Resolution
Photo printers operate at high dots-per-inch resolutions, producing fine detail and smooth color gradients that closely resemble professional photo printing output.
Borderless Printing
Most photo-capable inkjet printers support borderless printing on dedicated photo paper sizes, allowing prints to extend to the edge of the page without white margins.
Wide Color Gamut
Photo inkjet printers use multiple ink colors including additional cyan, magenta, and photo black inks to achieve a wider color gamut than standard document printers.
Multiple Paper Size Support
Photo printers support a range of paper sizes from wallet-size 4x6 prints to larger format output, with compatibility for various photo paper types and finishes.
